finish: one application of natural stain then 3 coats of high gloss spar polyurethane (with UV blocker)

comments: This one is just gorgeous, I think. The woods are exceptionally nice through out and the pattern of the BOX is quite striking both because of the excellent wood and also because of the use of the double thicknesses of ebony veneer to set off several of the woods. Also, the undercut rim is particularly nice on this one and gives the top a very nice curve.

Particular standouts are the buckthorn in view 1, the outside canary in view 3, the slightly curly tulipwood in view 5 and the chechem in view 7. The particular cut of the wenge in view 1 is not accidental and the resulting face grain is particularly nice (and even better on the bottom of the bowl)

I ALWAYS POINT OUT ANYTHING THAT NEEDS TO BE COMMENTED ON. THESE ARE (UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED) THINGS THAT DO NOT DETRACT FROM THE BEAUTY OF THE BOWL, BUT I WANT TO BE SURE I GIVE A COMPLETE DESCRIPTION. SO ... The right hand piece of sapele at the top middle has developed a crack. You can only see it if you catch the light just right and it doesn't detract from the beauty of the bowl.

LATER: Both cocobolo/maple joints in the top outer part of the middle have developed VERY minor separations that cannot be seen and which are evident to the touch but not terribly much so. Still, I hate these separations and have dropped the price just a bit accordingly (but because this is such a beautiful bowl, the price is still high).
